Stormont will be bathed in orange and purple glow to mark the traditional annual Orange Order parades next Monday.

Demonstrations will be taking place across Northern Ireland a day later than usual, because July 12 falls on a Sunday this year.

There are 20 parades - 18 Orange Order demonstrations and one Independent Loyal Orange Institution event in Northern Ireland - along with the long-standing demonstration in Rossnowlagh in Co Donegal, being held tomorrow.

Tens of thousands of Orangemen, women and child members will be taking part, supported by some of the best marching pipe, flute, silver and accordion bands that the province has to offer.

Many thousands of people will line towns and villages as the parades leave gathering points ahead of making their way to their chosen demonstration field, where the traditional religious service and proposal and adoption of this year's resolutions will take place. Monday's celebrations will mark the 325th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, where King William of Orange defeated King James on the banks of River Boyne in Co Meath. King William himself will be making two guest appearances, leading the parades in Kesh, Co Fermanagh, and Antrim.

One of the more eye-catching events should be a 50m dash - complete with bowler hats and collarettes - at the Fivemiletown event on the Tyrone/Fermanagh border to find the fastest Orangeman in the west before the parade proper.

In Belfast, Stormont will be lit up using orange and purple lights to mark the occasion.

Organisers are encouraging the return of the 'Twelfthie' and asking parade participants and spectators to use their smartphones and tablets to post their pictures on social media to capture the carnival atmosphere.

FIRST RESOLUTION - THE FAITH

As members of the Loyal Orange Institution we give thanks to God for His salvation, planned by God the Father, purchased by God the Son by His substitutionary sacrifice on Calvary and applied to sinners by the work of the Holy Spirit.

As Bible-believing Protestants we declare that while salvation is received by faith alone, it leads to a life of humble obedience to the law of God.

We regret the increasing opposition to God's Word and the determination to deprive Christians of their liberty.

We call on all Orangemen to stand fast and to live lives that glorify God.

SECOND RESOLUTION - LOYALTY

That we, the Orangemen do hereby reaffirm our devotion and loyalty to the Throne and Person of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We note that on September 9, 2015, DV, Her Majesty the Queen will become the longest serving British monarch. We reflect on a reign which has been marked with dignity and service to her people and express our profound indebtedness to her.

The Institution also appreciates the role played by the other members of the Royal Family and expresses thanks. We congratulate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the recent birth of Princess Charlotte.

THIRD RESOLUTION - THE STATE

We cherish the Union. We welcome the outcome of the Scottish Referendum of September 2014. We urge our political representatives to stand firm.

We are mindful of brethren subject to attacks on their property and attempts to prevent their parades. We call on those who protest against us to show tolerance. We remind everyone that peaceful protest remains our best means of opposition.

In this 40th anniversary year of the massacre of five Orangemen at Tullyvallen in County Armagh we bring to mind all our brethren who lost their lives through terrorism. They will not be forgotten.

As we look to the centenary of the Somme, we are reminded of the sacrifice many Orange brethren made during the First World War. We pledge to commemorate them with pride and dignity in 2016.

Rossnowlagh, Co Donegal,

Saturday, July 11

Fifty lodges from Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan and 30 bands will take part. They include Convoy and Newtowncunnigham, where both halls were destroyed by arson since last year. The 3pm service will be conducted by Rev Brian Russell. Guest speaker Harold Henning, deputy grand master, will be joined by Co Donegal grand master David Mahon and other senior brethren.

Bessbrook, Co Armagh, Monday, July 13

Almost 5,000 brethren and 15,000 spectators will enjoy what is seen as the largest gathering of Orangemen on the day. There will be 11 district lodges, 154 private lodges, ladies from the Women's Institution and junior lodges. More than 80 pipe, accordion, flute and silver bands - including the local Crimson Arrow Pipe Band and Bessbrook True Blues Flute band - will parade.

Assembling at Bessbrook Orange hall at 8am, the parade will go to the Kingsmills Memorial for a short service to commemorate the 10 local Protestant men murdered by the IRA in 1976.

The guest speaker will be grand master Edward Stevenson. The first of the bands will leave from 3pm.

Belfast

As Stormont lights up orange to mark the 325th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, Belfast will host one of the largest annual Twelfth demonstrations. More than 60 bands and nine districts will take part in the parade which, in keeping with tradition, will take up position from 9.45am at Carlisle Circus before moving at 10am from Clifton Street, Donegall Street, along Royal Avenue to Belfast City Hall.
